  BEYOND COMPLIANCE: Governance, Accountability and Financial Behaviour across Asian Economies

  Vol. 1 No. 1 (2026)

  Beyond Compliance examines how governance, accountability and financial behaviour shape economic and organisational outcomes across Asian economies. The volume brings together studies of taxation, financial reporting, sustainable finance, corporate governance and investor behaviour to show that formal rules alone do not guarantee responsible conduct or effective economic outcomes. Its first part explores tax compliance through knowledge, trust, behavioural motivations and stakeholder collaboration. The second examines public-sector accrual accounting, audit disclosure and the regulatory foundations of sustainable finance, now extending from ASEAN-level green finance to green banking and sustainable development in Bangladesh. The final part turns to corporate ownership, executive remuneration and behavioural biases in frontier-market investment. Across these settings, the chapters demonstrate that accountability depends on the interaction of institutions, regulation, organisational incentives, transparency and individual behaviour. Collectively, the book moves beyond a narrow compliance perspective to explain how governance systems can strengthen financial integrity, sustainability, institutional legitimacy and responsible decision-making across diverse Asian contexts.

  FINANCIAL TRANSFORMATION UNDER UNCERTAINTY: Forecasting, Risk, Governance and Resilience

  Vol. 1 No. 2 (2026)

  Financial Transformation Under Uncertainty examines how financial actors, institutions and households respond to uncertainty through forecasting, risk management, governance and resilience. The volume begins with predictive analytics, showing how hybrid econometric, deep-learning and LLM-guided approaches can improve market intelligence while raising questions of model validation and interpretability. It then turns to behavioural and systemic risk, examining investor sentiment, volatility connectedness, fintech-related credit risk and the role of macroprudential policy in moderating credit expansion during the COVID-19 crisis. The third strand focuses on governance and resilience, linking ownership structures and corporate responsibility to financial reporting, institutional accountability and long-term stability. The volume also broadens financial resilience beyond firms and banks by examining the financial security of professional footballers and the relationship between migration, household assets and coastal vulnerability in Bangladesh. Together, the chapters show that financial resilience depends not only on better prediction, but also on institutions, regulation, responsible behaviour and adaptive capacity across multiple levels of the financial system.
